Description
George Whitmore (who participated in the first ascent of the Nose of El Capitan) poses next to a "Glacier Table" on the Robson Glacier, British Columbia, July 1962. These are formed when the ice underneath a large boulder starts melting. The ice on the edges melts faster than the ice in the shade, in the center, leaving the boulder on a pedestal. Original was a 2 1/4 inch square B&W negative and was lost in a fire. A print made before the fire was scanned to make this digital image.
